Mol on Darwin Bugs

[Robin Jastrzebski]

Greetings all!

I must say I'm most impressed by your efforts to port mol to the Darwin 
platform, and I'm looking forward to the stable release! In the 
meanwhile, I decided to pull the most recent source from the BK tree 
and just try to see how  far it would get. Mol actually booted a linux 
kernel (vmlinux-2.4.20-8d, from YDL), but fairly soon in the booting 
sequence the mol console gives the following error:

 >> ea_to_phys: no translation for 00000000, using 1-1
 >> panic: segmentation violation at 0
 >> dict=0x1e6611c here=0x1e7f4f4(dict+0x193d8) 
pc=0x1e7a820(dict+0x14704)
 >> dstackcnt=0 rstackcnt=11 instruction=1e66634
*** osi user break [1] ***
 >> RTAS instantiated at 00600000
 >> =============================================================

The output from Linux is as follows:

> Welcome to Linux, kernel 2.4.20-8d

Also, VNC support seems to be broken in OS X... When I try to connect 
using VNCViewer it gives a Connection Error, and mol outputs:

vncvideo: vnc_thread starts as pid 1801
vncvideo: Error on socket read -1
Read from socket: Resource temporarily unavailable
vncvideo: Closing vnc_sock
vncvideo: Result 0
vncvideo: ------- vnc_thread ends

Using telnet to test the connection I get the same output, and the 
following in telnet:

> avenger:/Users/reblet admin$ telnet localhost 5900
> Trying ::1...
> telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
> Trying 127.0.0.1...
> Connected to localhost.
> Escape character is '^]'.
> RFB 003.003
> Connection closed by foreign host.

I hope this will help you in making the Darwin port better! :-)
